# prettymaps

A minimal Python library to draw customized maps from [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/11.0733/106.3078) created using the [osmnx](https://github.com/gboeing/osmnx), [matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org/), [shapely](https://shapely.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) and [vsketch](https://github.com/abey79/vsketch) packages.

## Note about crediting and NFTs:
- Please keep the printed message on the figures crediting my repository and OpenStreetMap ([mandatory by their license](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright)).
- I am personally **against** NFTs for their [environmental impact](https://earth.org/nfts-environmental-impact/), the fact that they're a [giant money-laundering pyramid scheme](https://twitter.com/smdiehl/status/1445795667826208770) and the structural incentives they create for [theft](https://twitter.com/NFTtheft) in the open source and generative art communities.
- **I do not authorize in any way this project to be used for selling NFTs**, although I cannot legally enforce it. **Respect the creator**.
- The [AeternaCivitas](https://magiceden.io/marketplace/aeterna_civitas) and [geoartnft](https://www.geo-nft.com/) projects have used this work to sell NFTs and refused to credit it. See how they reacted after being exposed: [AeternaCivitas](https://github.com/marceloprates/prettymaps/raw/main/pictures/NFT_theft_AeternaCivitas.jpg), [geoartnft](https://github.com/marceloprates/prettymaps/raw/main/pictures/NFT_theft_geoart.jpg).
- **I have closed my other generative art projects on Github and won't be sharing new ones as open source to protect me from the NFT community**.
